Citing office closures, deteriorating service, and unresponsive administrators, members of the Massachusetts Congressional delegation are newly appealing to meet with the U.S. Postal Service’s regional manager.
In a letter released on Friday, U.S. Sen. Edward Markey and other elected officials mentioned closures of the Medway Main Street Post Office and the Watertown Square Post Office, “the lack of response to faltering service at the Roxbury and Somerville Post Offices, and the recent proposal to slow rural mail delivery and consolidate postal operations.”
“Our constituents are facing diminished access to post office retail fronts, increasingly delayed and lost mail, and, for those employed by USPS, workplace dissatisfaction,” the federal lawmakers wrote, asserting that the situation is “highly problematic and indicative of a larger statewide problem.”
